Quintuplets leaving hospital for the first time have been welcomed home by their entire town.

Cheering friends and families lined the streets of the East Texas town of Maud to celebrate the homecoming of their five newest residents.

Parents Michelle and Steven Seals rode in a borrowed church van on Friday through the town of about 1,000 people, with their five babies - Brant Lee, Gracie Lou, Mia Danielle, Rayleigh Ann and Tessa Suzanne - as well as their 2-year-old son Brady.

The quintuplets, made up of four girls and one boy, were born nearly five months ago with much fanfare at a Dallas hospital.

"It was so surreal that it's finally here. I'm very thankful," Michelle said on Saturday.

The babies, conceived with the help of fertility drugs, were born at 29 weeks through cesarean section on March 18 at Baylor University Medical Center.

They were the first quintuplets born at the hospital, with more than two dozen medical staff assisting in the birth. Their weights ranged from 2 pounds, 7 ounces to 4 pounds, 6 ounces.

"Counting Brady, we're probably bumping 50 diapers a day for all six kids," Steven said.

The town have donated 500 boxes of nappies that are stacked floor to ceiling in a storage room.

Friends have also collected food, clothing and given their time to Steve, a civilian employee at the Red River Army Depot, and Michelle, a school teacher - to help with their new additions

"That little saying that 'it takes a village to raise a child' is so true," Michelle said.
